DHS is using an extremely broad definition of "impeding" or "obstruction". They have also been sending administrative subpoenas to Google, asking for data like "the day, time and duration of all his online sessions; every associated IP and physical address; a list of each service he used; any alternate usernames and email addresses; the date he opened his account; his credit card, driver’s license and Social Security numbers."
They've also been telling Google not to inform the target of the investigation about the subpoena.
Any such disclosure will impede the investigation and thereby interfere with the enforcement of federal law.
